  • The increasing use of biometrics and in-speech recognition drives the demand for neuromorphic chips in smartphones. These chips are used to process audio data in the cloud and then return it to the phone. In addition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) requires more computing power, but low-energy neuromorphic computing could significantly push applications that run presently in the cloud to run directly in the smartphone in the future without substantially draining the phone battery.
  • Neuromorphic is a specific brain-inspired ASIC that implements the Spiked Neural Networks (SNNs). It has an object to reach the massively parallel brain processing ability in tens of watts on average. The memory and the processing units are in single abstraction (in-memory computing).
  • This leads to the advantage of dynamic, self-programmable behavior in complex environments. Instead of traditional bit-precise computing, neuromorphic hardware leads to the probabilistic models of simple, reliable, robust, and data-efficient computing as the brain's highly stochastic nature. Neuromorphic hardware certainly suits more cognitive applications than precise computing.
  • During the next decade, neuromorphic computing will transform the nature and functionalities of a wide range of scientific and non-scientific applications. Some of them include mobile applications that are increasingly demanding powerful processing capacities and abilities.
  • The design of neuromorphic chips follows the goal of modeling parts of the biological nervous system. The aim is to reproduce its computational functionality and especially its ability to solve cognitive and perceptual tasks efficiently. Achieving this requires modeling networks of sufficient complexity regarding the number of neurons and synaptic connections. The brain and its ability to learn and adapt to specific problems are still subject to basic neuroscientific research.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic had a favorable influence on the medical business market. Several market leaders, including IBM, Hewlett Packard, and Qualcomm, pushed their neuromorphic computing solutions into several hospitals and clinics worldwide. Their technologies' computational skills were able to reduce various difficulties inside a normal hospital ecosystem. The pandemic kept the capital equipment sector humming with a strong demand for next-generation electronics.

Neuromorphic Chip Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Neuromorphic Chip Market according to our research experts:

Consumer Electronics Segment Holds Significant Market Share

  • The consumer electronics industry identifies neuromorphic computing as a promising tool for enabling high-performance computing and ultra-low power consumption to achieve these goals. For instance, AI services, such as Alexa and Siri, rely on cloud computing with the internet to parse and respond to spoken commands and questions. Neuromorphic chips have the potential to allow several varieties of sensors and devices to perform intelligently without requiring an internet connection.
  • Smartphones are expected to be the trigger for the introduction of neuromorphic computing. Several operations, such as biometrics, are power-hungry and data-intensive. For instance, in speech recognition, audio data is processed in the cloud and then returned to the phone.
  • Wearable devices are a fast-growing technology with a considerable impact on personal healthcare for both the economy and society. Due to widespread sensors in pervasive and distributed networks, power consumption, processing speed, and system adaptation are vital in the future of smart wearable devices. Additionally, the field of artificial intelligence further boosts the possibility of smart wearable sensory systems. The emerging high-performance systems and intelligent applications need more complexity and demand sensory units to describe the physical object accurately.
  • Moreover, increasing the number of wearable devices may further drive market growth. For instance, according to Cisco Systems, the number of connected wearable devices reached 1,105 million in 2022 compared to 929 million in the previous year.
  • The increasing interest in neuromorphic engineering shows that hardware-spiking neural networks are considered a critical future technology with high potential in crucial applications, such as edge computing and wearable devices.

North America to Hold Major Share over the Forecast Period

  • North America is home to some of the major market vendors, such as Intel Corporation and IBM Corporation. The market for neuromorphic chips is growing in the region due to factors such as government initiatives, investment activities, and others.
  • One of the significant factors behind the growth of the market in North America is the interest shown by government bodies toward neuromorphic computing. 
  • For instance, in September 2022, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced USD 15 million in funding for 22 research projects to advance neuromorphic computing. The initiative by DOE supports the development of hardware and software for brain-inspired neuromorphic computing.
  • On the other hand, the government of Canada is focusing on artificial intelligence technology, which is also expected to create a scope for growth in neuromorphic computing over the coming years. For instance, in June 2022, the Canadian Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Industry announced the start of the second phase of the Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy. The second phase of the strategy is backed by a USD 443 million investment in Budget 2021.
  • Several research projects are attracting collaborations for advancements in neuromorphic technology. For instance, in August 2022, the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago in the United States developed a flexible, stretchable neuromorphic computing chip that processes information by mimicking the human brain. The device intends to alter the way health data is processed.
  • There has been growth in AI-based chips in Canada, which is also driving the neuromorphic chips market. For instance, in May 2021, Canadian startup Tenstorrent announced that it had raised USD 200 million and achieved unicorn status. The company had planned to deliver its AI chip for real-world applications in the first half of 2022. 
  • The increasing defense expenditure of various countries is also expected to drive the demand for neuromorphic computing in North America.

Neuromorphic Chip Industry Overview

The neuromorphic chip market has large-scale semiconductor vendors that command significant revenue generation capabilities, architecture-development start-ups, and universities. The market is consolidated, and vendors are increasingly spending on R&D and collaboration activities to gain technological capabilities and commercialize the market, making the market less competitive.

Despite neuromorphic chips being at an early stage of development, the patent filing activity by players in the market is gaining interest across key semiconductor companies, R&D centers, and universities, and competitive rivalry is poised to increase in the future.

In August 2022, Edge Impulse was launched, which enables developers to create enterprise-grade ML algorithms trained on real-world sensor data in a low-code environment. These trained algorithms can be quantified, optimized, and turned into Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) that are compatible with and deployable with BrainChip Akida devices. This functionality is available for new and existing Edge Impulse projects by utilizing the platform's integrated BrainChip MetaTF model deployment block. This deployment block allows free-tier and enterprise developer users to design and evaluate neuromorphic models for real-world use cases before deploying them on BrainChip Akida development kits.

In April 2022, SynSense announced a collaboration with BMW to advance the integration of neuromorphic chips and smart cockpits. This is the first step in integrating SynSense's brain-like technology into smart cockpits. This neuromorphic technology collaboration with BMW will focus on SynSense's dynamic visual intelligence SoC-Speck, which combines SynSense's low-power SNN vision processor with an event-based sensor on a single chip.
